Dog-friendly pubs in Beverley

A one-room micropub on two levels tucked up Swaby’s Yard off Dyer Lane, opened in 2013 by a CAMRA member and still independent. Five handpulls cover bitter, pale, IPA and something dark, with eight keg lines and up to six ciders, and there is a small outdoor drinking area for warm evenings. It is a talking pub with no machines and no television, so a settled dog fits in and a bouncy one will be noticed. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 15 January 2026, not the bar’s own words.

A street-corner pub at 2 Norwood, on the A1035 at the north end of Beverley near the bus station and a short walk from Beverley railway station. It is the handiest dog-friendly pub in town if you have arrived by train and are heading for the Westwood. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A Victorian street-corner local on Norwood, the A1035 through the top of town, a couple of minutes from the bus station and about six hundred metres from Beverley railway station. It closed and then reopened in November 2019, and the two-room layout was put back with advice from the local CAMRA pub preservation officer, so it reads as a proper old boozer rather than a refit. There is off-street parking directly opposite, which is unusual this close to the middle of Beverley. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 7 October 2020, rather than the pub’s own statement.

A plain local at 3 Beckside North, on the water at the head of Beverley Beck beside the Barge Preservation Society moorings, and the first or last building on the Beck towpath depending which way you walk it. Nothing about it is smart, which is rather the point after five miles of flood bank. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A Grade II listed building of about 1751 standing on Saturday Market, licensed since it was built and now a Craft Union house with four cask ales, two regular and two changing. It is a locals' pub, open from ten in the morning and late on Fridays and Saturdays, with lunchtime and evening food and sport on the screens, and it fills up on racedays when the Westwood is busy. Straight across the square from the Saturday Market car park, so it is the easy first stop coming off Black Mill. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 27 April 2020 and last updated on 23 July 2023, not the pub's own words.

A large suburban pub at 75 Molescroft Road on the north-west edge of Beverley, five minutes on foot from the free Hudson Way car park off Woodhall Way. That makes it the trailhead pub for the rail trail and for anyone coming off the top end of the Westwood. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

The oldest pub in Beverley, on Highgate right under the north side of the Minster, with a second way in from Eastgate through the back yard. A small front bar with cast iron Reynolds tables opens into a long main room that runs back past a little restaurant area, and behind that is a walled garden with the Minster towers over the wall plus a rear courtyard. It is the natural stop at the end of a Beck or Minster walk and the yard entrance means you are not dragging a wet dog through the front bar. The dog policy is from CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by Hull and East Yorkshire branch volunteers on 30 January 2026, rather than from the pub.

A modern bistro bar in a listed Georgian building on Flemingate, a couple of minutes from the Minster and five hundred metres from Beverley station, in what was Hodgsons and still keeps Hodgsons Snug to the right of the door. There is a pizza oven behind the bar and a big garden out the back fitted with private timber sheds you can eat in, which is the useful bit with a wet dog off the Beck towpath. Cask Marque five out of five, darts and board games, and acoustic music Friday through Sunday. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 14 April 2025, not the bar's own words.

A corner pub on Wednesday Market, the smaller of Beverley’s two market squares, a couple of minutes from the Minster and from the top of Flemingate. Wednesday Market is where the town’s buses turn and where most of the Minster walking routes begin. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A pub on North Bar Without, just outside the medieval North Bar gate on the road out towards the Westwood and the racecourse. It is a five-minute walk from the Newbald Road edge of the common, so it catches people coming off the pasture as well as the North Bar residents. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A narrow old pub at 1 Flemingate, the bottom corner of Beverley where the street runs down past the Minster towards Beckside and the head of the Beck. It is the closest pub to the Beverley Beck towpath start and gets the walkers, the Flemingate cinema crowd and the Minster visitors all at once. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A pub at 53 Lairgate, the long Georgian street that runs down the west side of Beverley between Saturday Market and the Guildhall. It is about ten minutes’ walk from the Westwood Road cattle grid, which makes it a sensible finish for a lap of the common. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

Two nineteenth-century cottages knocked together on Westwood Road, five minutes from Saturday Market and about the same from the Westwood cattle grid, which makes it the obvious pint after a lap of the common. The tiny snug seats only a handful of people and is the room dogs tend to end up in, though the main room behind the bar takes them too. Three changing cask beers, a courtyard out the back and food cooked fresh on the day. The dog policy here comes from CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed on the ground by Hull and East Yorkshire branch volunteers on 8 May 2026, rather than from the pub itself.

A 1930s John Smith's house on Ladygate beside Browns, run by the same family since 1972 and split into three: a bar with a period brick fireplace and bentwood seating, a front lounge with an open fire, and a rear snug. Three regular casks, two changing and a real cider on handpull, with good-value home-cooked lunches. Dogs are welcome in the bar at any time but in the lounge only once food service has finished, so an early evening pint is easier here than a lunchtime one. There are six purpose-built en-suite rooms at the back, though whether a dog may sleep in one is not published, so ask when you book. The dog policy here is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 16 January 2026, not the pub's own words.

A Tudor-fronted inn on Saturday Market that has carried the Green Dragon name since 1765, now run by Mitchells and Butlers with ten handpulls on the bar and breakfast from ten in the morning. There is a heated courtyard round the back, sport on a great many screens including outside, and a quiz on Tuesdays. Dogs are allowed but only in part of the pub, so ask at the bar which part before you settle in. That restriction is recorded on CAMRA WhatPub from a branch survey on 3 March 2023 and is not the pub’s own published wording.

Known to everyone as Nellie’s after a long-serving licensee, this Samuel Smith’s house on Hengate beside the bus station is a warren of panelled corridors, gas lamps, bare boards and real fires that has barely changed in a century. It is one of the most photographed interiors in the East Riding and worth a look even if you are only passing through. Dogs are limited to the patio at the back, which is a genuine restriction in a pub whose whole point is the inside. That limit is recorded on CAMRA WhatPub from a branch survey on 21 February 2020 and is not the pub’s own published policy.
